I have following define in my code
#define PRODUCTNAME "SomeName"
and I want to send it with a function com_reply(unsigned char* msg, uint16_t lenght)
.
Now I get a warning that my argument differs in signedness. I know what the problem is and also why com_reply
uses unsigned char*
instead of char*
, I just want to know:
How can I define my string as an unsigned char*
so I can use it throughout my program without getting warnings all over the place.
EDIT:
Strictly speaking I have more than one defines here and the main reason is that there is a BANNER
define which consists of several other defines, like this:
#define PRODUCTNAME "SomeName"
#define PRODUCTDATE "2013-03-30"
#define BANNER PRODUCTNAME " (" PRODUCTDATE ")"
Should I create const variables and concatenate them at program start instead of using defines here?
